How long do COVID-19 symptoms last?

Most people recover from COVID-19 within two weeks, but some people continue to experience symptoms (like loss of taste or smell) for weeks or even months after recovery. This varies from person-to-person. In cases where symptoms persist, it is not clear how long they may last. Researchers are still learning more about the course of the disease. For more information, talk to your healthcare provider or visit the CDC website.
